a prestigious Ladies Golfing event

The Silver Tassie is a ladies golf competition for alumnae of independent schools which are members of the Independent Schools Joint Council. The Silver Tassie was founded in 1961 by Gerty Hubbard who wanted to create an event, similar to the Halford Hewitt, but for ladies.

The event is now held at The Berkshire Golf Club and played over the Blue and Red Course which are widely regarded as two of the best courses in the British Isles. 

This prestigious event attracts alumnae of schools from all over the country, whose home golf clubs are affiliated to the LGU. Recently, teams from co-educational schools such as Marlborough have also taken part, fielding an all female team.

 The Competition

The competition is for teams of 2 pairs of golfers playing 4BBB handicap stableford. The competition is played over 18 holes with the winning team producing the best combined stableford score. 

The competition is held at The Berkshire Golf Club in May/June and is played over both courses. Team members must be alumnae from the same school. The maximum individual adjusted course handicap for each player is 24 (or they will be reduced to that for the day.)

In addition to the main four ball better ball competition, prizes are awarded for the best stableford pair on each course.

In 2022 we reintroducing a scratch prize for the school with the best gross team score (the best gross score from the Red course will be added to the best gross score from the Blue course).
